The New Paradigms in Graduate Education Committee is seeking
participants in a new initiative to highlight additional career options for
doctoral degree holders. New Paradigms seeks to develop a series of profiles on
Ph.Ds. in theatre and performance studies who have either chosen a career
outside of academia (in private and non-profit sectors), or a non-traditional
route to faculty and non-faculty university positions. We are looking for three
or four graduate students who are interested in seeking out and interviewing
suitable candidates for these profiles. This is an excellent way to network and
forge relationships!

Graduate students will be provided with a sample list of
questions, as well as further instructions and recommendations as this
initiative develops. These profiles will be disseminated via the ASTR email
listserv, the New Paradigms in Graduate Education Facebook website, and other
forms of social media. If you would like to suggest a Ph.D. who fits the above
description, and/or are a graduate student interested in interviewing potential
candidates, please contact the New Paradigms in Graduate Education graduate student
representative: Sara Boland-Taylor at bolandt2@illinois.edu.
